I'm glad I can sleep safe at night knowing that criminals with names such as the 'skullcracker[^]' are being kept safely in open prisons. Makes you wonder what the nicknames of those are that we keep in the normal prisons, you know the ones that have bars and locks and stuff?

I read this story from WW2 about a yong couple ready to marry, but the groom was sent to war in the Pacific before they could arrange it. Just in case something should happen to him, they wanted to be married. So a marriage was arranged over the air, with one priest where he was stationed, another one back home where she was living, and the two priests each witnessed the "I do" into the microphone of the military radio.

The groom came home from the war without serious wounds, and "they lived happily thereafter", celebrating their anniversary over two days: The radio communication had crossed the date line, so by the dates, he married one day before she did, and the story tells that they used to celebrate both dates.
